Field Of Application; Operating Safety - IMER 1199121 Manual De Instalacion Y Uso

1. WARNINGS
Pay special attention to all warnings marked with this
symbol:
The hoist frame can be an important aid for the user
provided the basic rules given in this manual are followed.
The user will be held fully responsible under civ il and
penal law for accidents resulting from failure to comply with
the instructions given in this manual.
Before starting to use the hoist follow ing installation or
a period of inactiv ity, it is good practice to check
loadbearing points and supports and to perform a check w ith
the maximum load applied as described in the hoist
operation and maintenance manual.
No changes of any kind may be made to the structure of the hoist
frame.
IMER INTERNATIONAL will accept no responsibility if the hoist
frame is removed, modified or damaged.

2. FIELD OF APPLICATION

The hoist frame is designed to support on-site hoisting
equipment manufactured by
AIRONE 300.
3. DESIGN STANDARDS
The hoist frame has been desi gned and constructed to UNI-CNR
10011 and FEM 1.001 standards in accordance w ith the dynamic
and loading characteristics of IMER hoists. Do not use w ith other
equipment without first verifying suitability.

4. OPERATING SAFETY

Lifting equipment must be assembled by
personnel under the supervision of the site manager.
To ensure safe operation, the user must follow
instructions given in this manual and check that the supports
are able to withstand the stresses exerted by the hoist frame.
In particular the user must strictly observe the following:
- installation rules: the loading access opening must be protected
by a parapet at least 1m high and a foot stop (fig. 1).
- The maximum capacity is 300 kg.
- Make sure that the supporting structures are able to
withstand the loads at the loadbearing points shown in fig. 1.
IMER INTERNATIONAL S.p.A. will not be held responsible for
failure to observe these rules.
5. INSTALLATION
First make sure that the l oadbearing surfaces are capable of
withstanding the loads shown in fig. 1, then proceed as follows:
Position the central column (1) ve rtically, checking that the fixing
channel on the hoist rotation locking plate (under the lower pin) is
in the loading position.
Using the nuts and bolts provided with the support, mount the left
and right feet (2) at the base of the central column. Now mount
the upper (3) and lower (4) stays. Join the two feet using the
bracket (5).

IMER, and specifically for
expert
all the
Make sure that the nuts and bolts are tight.
Use a spirit level to check that the column is perfectly upright.
If it is not, correct by fitting metal shims under the base of the
column.
Secure the central column by screwing two M12 expansion
bolts through the foot (position T).
To prevent the hoist frame from tipping over during operation,
anchor it in one of the following ways:
- mount 2 anchor bolts;
- mount a counterweight container.
Do not mount the hoist until the hoist
been anchored using the tw
counterweight.
6. ANCHORING THE HOIST FRA ME WITH TWO ANCHOR
BOLTS
An anchor bolt (minimum diameter M14 and minimum
strength class 8.8) must pass through the 15 mm diameter
hole at the end of each of the two feet and through the floor. A
bearing plate of adequate size to withstand the force exerted
by the anchor bolts on the floor (fig. 2) must be fitted under
the head of the nut.
The maximum force transmitted by each of the two anchor
bolts is approximately 400 kg.
7. MOUNTING COUNTERWEIGHT CONTAINER
If it is not possible to fit
container can be used (fig. 3), w hich must rest symmetrically
on both feet of the hoist frame.
The counterweight container c onsists of two side panels (1),
two end pieces (2), two lids (3), two supports (4), a locking bar
(5) and two tie-rods (6).
To assemble, first fit together the tw o side panels to form the
V-shaped profile and tighten using the brackets, bolts,
washers and nuts provided (fig. 4). Mount the two end pieces
and screw them to the side panels. Screw the two supports
under the side panels and the four screws in position P (fig. 3)
to prevent the container from coming detached from the feet.
Fit the two tie-rods and the locking bar to join the tw
panels at points Q (fig. 3). The locking bar must be positioned
mid-way between the two tie-rods with the hole upwards.
Fill the container w ith counterweight ballast weighing at least
840 kg. Use material of specif ic gravity no greater than 1300
3
kg/m
(e.g. dry sand).
Liquid must not be used as ballast.
In order to prevent any
counterweight, the container must be closed using the tw o
lids and a padlock fitted to the hole in the locking bar eye (5).
It is strictly forbidden to use makeshift sy stems such as bags
of cement or bricks as counterweights, as they
guarantee safe anchoring of the structure.
The counterweight must not be remov ed until the
hoist has been dismantled from the frame.
